after showing the captive @Shadowpaw into @Morwenna's presence, sun eater performed a final patrol of shadowynn and then called together the saatsine. "we leave," he uttered aloud. "bring hides. we walk into storms." today itself was poured with steady snow which already blanketed the trails of many caribou. at last the herds had left behind the sunspire and now trekked resolutely for the far bracken woods.

with little attachment to the river, the lanzadoii man would follow the herds into the knife-edged leaves, and camp there with his wife as he had once with another.

by the time they had come to the rest, it was mounded with snow and keening in several wind voices. ice threatened to gather upon one's mouth and eyes. for this purpose had he urged them to bring caribou skins, showing how a depression might be dug in the snow or found against the side of jutting rocks, and that the pelts overtop would form an immediate shelter filled quickly with heat.

only when little skin huts dotted the rest did he duck beneath his own caribou robes, annoyed for the lack of morwenna's pleasant figure beside his own for this first night. he had sent the girl into his wife's hides, keeping her protected as he had told river walker he would, though if the holy man wanted her close, sun eater would not protest.

the land remained scoured for hours by these storms, snow falling in heavy blankets until even the saatsine were blotted for a time from the face of the world.
